It was also worn by Miraç Sözer as Şehzade Mehmed (later Sultan Mehmed II) in the second episode of the 2023 first season of Kızılelma: Bir Fetih Öyküsü (Golden Apple: The Grand Conquest).

HotD failed on hair and wardrobe on multiple fronts, but I think Rhaenys might be the most frustrating because the solution was so simple.

It's bad enough they changed her hair seemingly just to make Rhaenyra look bad for having dark-haired sons. But they also really said they wanted her to have a "regal" presence with hair that evokes Ottoman sultanas, and they didn't take the obvious route?

The one that would not only look better, but also help worldbuild and mark cultural differences, and remove the need for another expensive wig? They could have used that money on poor Rhaena. Damn, they could have simply stuck a custom headdress on half the blondes to disguise the cheapness of the wigs. It's 'medieval Europe.' It should not be out of the question for women to have their hair covered.

I love Magnificent Century. I love it for what it is, and I love that it knows and embraces what it is. But it's also proof that not only is 'softening' and glamourizing our history kind of a universal urge these days, rather than purely a 'Western' one... but it's also a very good example of how orientalism and other Western misinterpretations of other cultures can be internalized by those very cultures.
